Just got a notice from my antivirus when I reloaded the lemmy.world Local Communities page, that I was protected by being blocked by something called derp.foo botnet. (lemmy.world)

Is the Communities page, infected?

***** update: a comment reply said that derp foo is a name of a lemmy instance, so i'm sort of positive this was a false positive for a community hosted there getting flagged. what an idiotic thing to name your web asset, as it must get flagged all the time.

I just read a post a couple of minutes ago that lemmy.world is under ddos attack rn

I had trouble loading it, so that makes sense.
